Customer Reviews

Great Movie - Lousy Quality DVD
This UK release is of very poor picture quality in any scene with fast movement causing horizontal lines.
In the USA this film was called "Circle Of Iron" and amazon.com sell both 1 and 2 disc versions (ASIN: B000NO2434).
The US version also has DTS ES soundtrack, proper picture quality, directors commentary and is Region 0.

Almost the Greatest Martial Arts movie ever Made.........
Before I start I would like to recommend that you purchase the BLUE UNDERGROUND 2 disc edition. It has a far superior sound and picture quality and a wealth of extras. The Film was originally meant to star James Coburn and Bruce Lee, so five years after his mysterious death THE SILENT FLUTE finally made it to the big screen.
Set in a never neverland reality, Cord (Jeff Cooper) searches for the book of enlightenment. On his journey he meets the wise blind man Ah Selhm (David Carradine) who becomes a yoda style mentor who sets him various challenges for the young warrior to conquer in order to reach enlightenment, but extremely violent ones! This is the one Kung Fu movie to transents the kicks and punches, and acts like a modern Zen parable.
